Question

The Recreation Center has an L-shaped pool. One pool is 8 meters by 6 meters. The other part is 12 meters by 6 meters. The whole pool is 4 meters deep. What is the volume of the entire pool?

Answer 1

Answer:

480m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The entire pool have the same depth which is 4metres

Since the pool is L shaped, we will find the volume of each part and add them together to get the volume of the entire pool.

Using the formula for calculating volume of a rectangular box

V = lwh

L is the length

w is the width

h is he height

For the first pool.

Length = 8m

Width = 6m

Height = 4m (depth)

Volume = 8×6×4

Volume = 192m³

For the other pool.

Length = 12m

Width = 6m

Height = 4m (depth)

Volume = 12×6×4

Volume = 288m³

Volume of the entire pool = 192+288 = 480m³
